Selena Gomez says vaping nicotine changed her voice permanently

Singer Selena Gomez disclosed on Instagram that heavy nicotine vaping altered her voice and she has now stopped the habit.

Selena Gomez revealed in an Instagram Stories video that her vaping addiction has permanently affected her voice. The 34-year-old singer told followers: "I vaped nicotine a lot, and nicotine is so hard to quit.

It's so stupid and it's changed my voice." Gomez acknowledged the change may explain why some listeners dislike how she sounds now, and said she cannot reverse the damage.

Gomez warned her followers against vaping, saying "it's just not worth it" and admitted quitting was difficult but ultimately rewarding. In an encouraging update, Gomez said she has successfully stopped vaping and hopes to stay quit.

Gomez urged followers who are struggling with addiction to keep trying, saying "if you are going through something, you can get through it too." Gomez has previously been open about her ongoing health battles, including lupus, an autoimmune disease diagnosed in 2013, and a kidney transplant she underwent in 2017.
